• Onions: "We have one of the largest onion operations in the U.S.," Conrad said. That's Peri & Sons Farms, based in Yerington.

• Hay and alfalfa: The dry climate affects how these grasses grow making them sought-after by dairy farmers and more, Conrad said. "Top racehorse breeders will come buy the hay out of Diamond Valley; it's of such high quality."
